Darien UL, DL? vs WBBB?

I have been looking into replacing my HH hyperlite, and while the WBBB looks very nice, the weight of the Darien UL and dutchware look fantastic.

My concern is that I am looking into doing some long distance backpacking for backwoods science research and maybe an AT run and I am worried that a lightweight single layer may not be able to stand up to continued use over several weeks and months.

I am careful with my gear, but I can be a bit of a walking murphey's law at times. Things just tend to go wrong for me .

So I was wondering if it was possible to get a doublelayer, and if that would improve the durability.

Also, does anyone have any experience with the Darien UL on these kinds of trips?
